St Louis, MO.

Checking in from St Louis, MO. So lucky that the weather's been rather forgiving and the sun's not been out, so I have been able to walk around without feeling like I was going to die. Houston was horrible that way, though the city itself was gorgeous. I count some blessings in this extended long round trip back to Seattle - I got to see both Minute Maid Park and Busch Stadium. Baseball parks have always been fascinating to me; their size, grandeur and just that overwhelming feeling you get when you look into the stadium and see the baseball diamond and the seats. Kinda sorry now I miss the Nationals Stadium when in DC, though it was kind of hard to access.
And the Gateway Arch is rather breathtaking. Saw it in the ads for the All-Star Game in '09, never forgot it since.
I was supposed to take pictures in the train as I'm traveling, but everytime I get on I just get so bushed I go straight into relaxation mode. I shall try later, when I make my way into Kansas City, MO. Now this Kansas City in Missouri and Kansas thing kinda got to me a bit. Initially I went, whaaa Kansas City's in Missouri? Oh, but there's a Kansas City, KS too.. oh they're just opposite each other.. riight. But I learnt something, haha.
Cannot wait to finish up this segment of my trip and get back to Seattle. Though there's loads to settle when I'm back as well. I do think I need a looong bath. Wet wipes are my saviour now.
velda.
